Abstract
The paper describes the subsequent development of two bachelor’s degree projects as part of a commissioned research project for the Czech car manufacturer Škoda Auto. The first bachelor’s degree project by R. Hnilica from the field of industrial design focused on developing an interaction design concept of a smart personal assistant, suitable for both children and adult passengers in autonomous cars. The follow-up bachelor’s degree project of a small robotic assistant by D. Plachý delivered a working prototype demonstrating partial functionality of the design concept. In the paper, we focus more on the design setup and the description of the process than on the technical details of our solution.
“Experience prototyping” reffers to a title of the long-term project framework supported by Škoda Auto a.s., contract No. SVS-21-063-STR, SVS-20-017-STR.
